A streetart trip along Dordrecht, The Netherlands #11, MORF and Robbert Visser
MORF
When you reach the Sint-Joris bridge in Dordrecht, you will find an old KPN 'building'. It's an old building housing the internet / telephone landlines for this part of Dordrecht. It was first painted by Spanish artist Lucia Alonso for Iconoclash back in 2016, but some city cleaners tried to clean up the painting on this property. Since August 2020 you will now find the structure painted by the English Brighton based MORF team. They repainted it, with some hint's to the old mural done by Lucia, the pomegranate.
The artist
MORF is an collective based in Brighton, UK. Known for there colorful murals, which have the name MORF used in the murals most of the times.

Robbert Visser
Just behind the mural done by MORF, you will find an old Stedin building (Dutch based network operator for the gas network) done by Robbert Visser in his particular abstract style.
Because of road works, i couldn't get around the building to photograph the other side.
